Before remapping would you not see about DPF removal, especially if it's giving bother.

 

Is a 3 litre tdi the right car for someone who only does 12k a year with little in the way of mway use?

 

not keen on removal incase i end up with a lot of smoke out the exhaust

to be honest i bought the 3litre to keep a bit of power after selling the impreza didnt give miles much of a thought mate

 

I'm doing a good 1000 miles a month (at least) of motorway miles thus my 3.0l diesel.. but I'm an Impreza boy at heart so the potential for power is eating at me

 

Go for it guys,

If you really dont like it can always put it back to normal

 

I had a 3.0l diesel C-Class Mercedes, I had it Brabus chipped which took it from 231 to 285bhp, and from 450 to 525 ft/lbs, you really do FEEL the difference in the mid range. My MPG indicated improved also.


Go for it!

 

Admittedly different cars but I was concerned about this when I had my old BMW E92 330d remapped and the DPF removed. My dog was clogged though from other faults and un-salvageable.

A bit of smoke yeah but it was a good map so not loads like an old Leyland bus.

Went from 231/369 to approx 276/431 with just said DPF removal and a remap. Fcukin' awesome on the motorway

 

So today's the day, I'm hoping for a rolling road as part of my map .. I can't remember if they said it was included or not.

 

Have you had it mapped yet pimmo

 

Yea, what did it make

 

erm .. it's not night and day .. it certainly pulls harder .. let me drive it this week and come back to you ..

At first I thought they'd ruined my smooth gear change, but it was the drop because of the torque, even in the quick auto-shift it's noticeable on full pelt now.

 

What power did it make

 

Just remember that although the diesels make more engine torque their gearing is always taller and thr wheel torque is reduced through this, power obviously a calculation of torque vs engine speed, diesels not revving high, hence low power and taller gearing (to compensate for the lower engine revs).
Power always wins over torque
